Product Information

Full details

The Expert By Facom 27mm 1/2" drive deep hexagon socket is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require a reliable tool for high-torque fastening applications. Its primary benefit is the specialized OGV profile, which protects fastener corners by applying torque to the sides, though users should note this is strictly intended for manual use rather than impact gun operation.

FAQs

Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?

No, this socket is designed exclusively for manual use and may fail or crack if subjected to the high-force impacts of an impact wrench.

What is the OGV profile?

The OGV profile is a design feature that allows the socket to apply force to the flat sides of a nut instead of the corners, preventing rounding.

What does the 1/2 inch drive refer to?

This refers to the square mounting hole at the base of the socket, which must be paired with a matching 1/2 inch drive ratchet or handle.

Is this socket rust-resistant?

It features a high-grade chrome coating which provides excellent rust resistance, provided it is kept clean and dry after use.

How much does the socket weigh?

The socket weighs approximately 410g.

What is the total length of this socket?

The socket has a total length of 79mm.

Troubleshooting

Socket fits loosely on the fastener

Verify that the fastener is exactly 27mm and free of heavy debris or paint buildup that might be preventing full engagement.

Socket is stuck on a stubborn bolt

Ensure you are pulling straight and applying steady pressure; if stuck, use a penetrating oil and gently tap the side of the socket to break the friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces risk of rounding fastener heads
  • High-quality chrome coating for durability
  • Deep reach design for recessed bolts
  • Standard 1/2" drive compatibility

Cons

  • Not rated for use with impact wrenches
  • Size is specific to 27mm fasteners
  • Heavier than shallow-depth sockets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This socket is compatible with all standard 1/2" square drive ratchets, extension bars, and torque wrenches. To maintain the integrity of the chrome finish and the internal profile, avoid dropping the socket on hard concrete floors. After use in greasy or oily environments, clean the tool with a dry cloth or a mild degreaser, then apply a light film of oil before storage to prevent oxidation. Keep the socket in a drawer or tool tray to prevent contact with other hardened steel tools that could chip the plating.
